Brooklyn's brightest and hippest continue to embrace art-spattered. Gang Gang Danceare one of the bands, along with the likes of Animal Collectiveand Yeasayer, selected for true unequivocal praise. Their last full-length, 2005's God's Money, was hailed as an experimental album of real depth and wonder. Frontwoman Liz Bougatsosis an irrepressible, incandescent figurehead. The band seems to bristle and is constantly shooting off in new directions, shifting dramatically from something akin to a turbocharged, artfully mangled take on Europop, to a CAN-style groove.Freeload:Gang Gang Dance, "House Jam" (XXXchange Remix)

Diana Orving is yet another great designer out of Sweden. With no formal design education, she has found her trademark in a draping-based construction technique and an experimental attitude to clothes and fashion, the method of creating directly on living bodies. She finds her inspiration in literature, art, theater and dance than in fashion itself. Improvisational is an understatement.

UK-based designer, Maria Lau, creates handcrafted jewelery and fashion prop-accessories from an eclectic choice of materials - using simple hand techniques that become more complex through the process of making. Her collection inspired by tribal and African Masai jewelry. Blurring the boundary between jewelery and clothing, Maria Lau creates unconventional jewelery that results in a harmony between casual yet avant-garde and opulent.

Santi White or best known by her stage name, Santogold, is challenging race stereotypes and playing fast and loose with genre, mashing up dub, punk, and electronics to make an energetic, anger-fuelled music that blurs the lines between the dancefloor and the moshpit. But it's not just skilful genre-skipping to recommend this record, though: White is the rare vocalist that can sound empowered and vulnerable within the space of the same song, and it's her force of character that places Santogold ahead of the pack.

For much of Santogold, White is channeling and recombining a series of indie icons: Debbie Harry, Kim Deal, Ari Up, Joe Strummer, and Karen O.
